This is Emilio Guarino. He plays bass.

But that's not all he does. He makes music with computers. He also teaches and performs in many musical styles.

He's even written a book to help musicians figure out how to find a foothold.

On his blog and Youtube channel, Emilio asks questions like:

• Are you the type of person you'd hire for a gig?
• Are auditions a problem-solving activity or a chance to beat up on yourself?
• When does the real world actually start?

We dig into these topics and much more in this interview!
